An artist, writer and visionary. Richard authored the Star Journey symbol system many years ago, and has been writing about it and developing its uses ever since. First published under the trademark Star+Gate, this dynamic symbol-based system has recently been updated and greatly expanded.

Richard's new book is now available: Star Journey – A Cosmology of Self. In it, he explains all about the system and brings the 96 symbols to life through a "journey of the self" in delightful narrative.

Star Journey tools are now in several formats:

Book and cards

Interactive book and symbols online

App for iPhone/iPod Touch

Live phone consultation

3D interactive version in virtual world Second Life

Richard also credits the assistance of a team of friends from around the world whom he met in the virtual world. They encouraged expanding into new formats and gave of their time and skills to help make them a reality. Richard and his team continue to evolve his system in new ways and using new media.

For sharing personal moods and messages, traits, and exploring relationships, look for the new multi-user games in social media very soon.
